It hasn't been cancelled yet, far as I know. I'm wondering if we'll get any Secret Origins (not Secret Origin) for the 52'Verse? I think the last Secret Origins issue we got was for Final Crisis. Also...and I can't remember now if I stated this earlier in the thread or in the other news thread, but the Who's Who that was announced two years ago at SDCC (maybe longer now) is pretty much dead (duh) probably to do with the relaunch happening. Robert Greenberger was supposed to write them.

Sorry if this has already been posted, but I have just finished reading this arc, and I keep thinking there is a continuity error. In issue one, the green plane flies over Vic's head and in issue two, the Mother Box at STAR labs is said to come from Superman's battle prior to the end of issue one. The STAR labs are in Detroit but all other clues seem to imply that GreenLantern and Batman meet Superman in Metropolis. Any suggestions about this?

I don't think this has been brought up before...and the way the arc was written, I wouldn't be surprised if there were continuity glitches. The only theory I have was that Star Labs has a Metropolis lab and perhaps they requested a transfer from the Detroit lab??

No, because Vic shows up at the lab to see his father. Continuity error is my theory.

...as opposed to the idea that Batman both likes and hates the current JLI? He didn't seem to be joking about hating some version of the JLI in Justice League 7, and he clearly wants the JLI to succeed in the JLI comics.

I suppose another other option, though, is that Batman sees the only way for the JLI to succeed is for the group to be separate from the UN. In other words, he's lying to Trevor in Justice League 7 in order to get the UN to remove funding.

I think the most reasonable option: poor communication between writers. And bad bad editing.

I haven't had a chance to get to my LCS in a few weeks, but judging from the comments here and my own lack of enjoyment from the issues, I think I've decided to drop Justice League. It's a shame that for the better (worse?) part of the past 10 years, no one can seem to write a decent Justice League in my opinion.

As I've said before, I had high hopes for Johns, given his ability to capture the voices of so many different characters and his ability to write a damned good JSA comic. Honestly, in looking at it, I think where Johns went wrong was when he stopped trying to capture the essence of these characters from other writers and started coming up with his own interpretation of their characterization.

There's also a good chance that Johns can use his position as a sales powerhouse and part of upper management to not listen to editors.

I don't know how it is these days but back in the Bryne era Mike Carlin was heard to grouse he was editor in name only of the Superman titles. I suspect that Johns and Morrie (among others) get similar treatment these days.
